This is a hidden object adventure game. In each scene, you must find object pieces. Once all the pieces are collected to form the object, it is used to perform an action.

HINT: Hover your mouse over every aspect of the scene and watch for your cursor to change. When it changes into a hand or magnifying glass, click on the area to perform an action and take the object piece.

Using objects – Objects are used wherever the cursor has spinning gears. To use an item, click on the item from the inventory and move it to the action zone.

Areas of interest – For areas that require an action or further investigation, the cursor turns into an magnifying glass.
